About This Feature
Overview
Revision records insertions, deletions, formatting changes, and other edits in a document so you can review what changed more clearly.
Core tasks include:
- Turn on Revision mode to record later edits as revisions.
- Show revisions to view comments and revision marks, then tap a revision to see its details.
- Turn off Revision mode to stop recording new revisions.
Revision marks are saved with the document, so they can continue to be viewed on other devices.
